Description
What Makes This Cable Different
Most patch cords focus only on optical performance.
This one is built for optical performance plus survivability.
Le APC (contact physique angulaire) ferrules minimize back reflection, making the cable ideal for 1550 nm laser systems, RF-over-fiber, and high-power optical transmission.
Le couche blindée protects the fiber against pulling, bending, rodent bites, and installation damage — a major advantage for outdoor or industrial deployment.
Meanwhile, the FC threaded connector ensures the ferrule stays locked in place, preventing micro-movement that can degrade signal quality over time.

Railway and industrial communication systems
-
Military, broadcast, and security networks
The combination of APC polishing + armoured construction makes it especially suitable for long-haul and high-power optical links where reflection and physical damage must be minimized.
Why APC Matters in High-Performance Networks
Unlike UPC connectors, APC ferrules are polished at an 8-degree angle, forcing reflected light into the fiber cladding instead of back into the laser. This reduces:
-
Optical noise
-
Laser instability
-
Bit-error rate (BER)
Avec return loss ≥ 60 dB, APC connectors are the standard for CATV, PON, and RF-over-fiber systems.
Engineered for Harsh Environments
The armoured structure adds:
-
Résistance à l'écrasement
-
Protection contre les rongeurs
-
High tensile strength
-
Better bending durability
This allows the cable to be routed through cable trays, outdoor ducts, and industrial enclosures without the fragility of standard patch cords.
Questions et réponses professionnelles
Q1: Can FC/APC connectors be used with UPC ports?
Non. APC and UPC must never be mixed — doing so can damage connectors and severely degrade performance.
Q2: Why is this cable ideal for CATV and RF-over-fiber?
Because APC connectors provide réflexion arrière ultra-faible, which is critical for les signaux optiques analogiques et RF.
Q3: What advantage does the armoured cable provide?
It protects the fiber against crushing, pulling, rodents, and harsh installation environments, Il s'agit donc d'une solution idéale pour outdoor and industrial use.
Q4: Is this cable suitable for 10G and PON systems?
Yes. It fully supports 10G, GPON, XG-PON, XGS-PON, and RF-over-fiber networks.
